So is that what Herschel meant when he told Rick he'd consider letting them stay, but only if they'd agree to follow his rules? I haven't read the comic, but figured that line was foreshadowing something really screwed up happening in a future episode.

When I was young, Woody Woodpecker was on TV every day after school. The Apple Andy episode of Andy Panda creeped me out. It was a bizarre little cartoon where an animated panda visits hell and is tormented by the devil after being tempted by him to steal some apples from an orchard. It was some pretty creepy shit for…

Baking Bad: In which a pastry chef with leukemia sets up a hash brownie kitchen.

I enjoyed Frank in the early seasons, but there wasn't really anywhere left to go with him and it seemed like he left at the right time.

So Michael Patrick King and SJP are protesting a TV show using a book as source material that wasn't the original work of Michael Patrick King and SJP in the first place? I guess I could see an argument if the characters and concept were their original creation, but they weren't. So I'm pretty sure they can both shut…

"I'm turning into a sleestak."

I don't think Tracy was pilloried here. If he was, I missed it, too. But he certainly was elsewhere.

I don't think he was wrong, either. Given that he's frequently said things in his stand-up acts that are at least as bad as what Morgan said, it would have been disingenuous of him to take some snooty high road about it. Morgan's only real mistake was saying those things at a time when the media narrative is that…

I was just going to mention Boardwalk Empire. The music doesn't even fit the tone of the show, and it's long and boring.

Remember…
…when Britney did that "comeback" performance after all the crazy on whatever the hell awards show that was and she just looked all fat and tired and high? This chick reminds me of that.

Indeed. Real Americans drink Coke.

"M*A*S*H had a totally pacifist message about "the wastefulness of war;"
So… is that supposed to come as some sort of surprise?

I can get behind Catherine Keener or Tilda Swinton. I like to imagine that Tammy I is a frigid ice queen, and Ron rebounded from her with the passionate crazytown that is Tammy II.

How much access would they have, though? It's tough to imagine a "reality" show about the DHS being anything but propaganda. And the involvement of the team behind the garbage that is Undercover Boss doesn't instill a lot of confidence.

But it's AMC's (and any other network's) job to spin marketing campaigns to draw viewers into their shows, and Twin Peaks is a hook for many viewers. In this case, a misleading one, but it's a hook that will get people to watch. It's the reviewer's job to analyze and to present an accurate reflection of the show that…

The review in the New York Times compared it to Durham County, which is a much more logical comparison.

Everything I've seen and read about this show indicate that it's nothing whatsoever like Twin Peaks. And having seen a few episodes of the original Forbrydelsen, which was nothing whatsoever like Twin Peaks, it looks like they are trying to maintain a similar mood to the original show. The Twin Peaks comparison is…

Lost. I could feel the whole thing going off the rails in the final episodes and figured I'd be disappointed in the end. When all the build up with the island mysteries and the mythology and the time travelling and the Dharma initiative turned out to be much ado about nothing, I felt like the time invested in watching…

All the way with Stephanie Kaye!

Lovely little Canadian film. Page has a supporting role in an ensemble cast. I recommend it.
